For me it's how popular and accessible twitch is for kids.

I've never really used twitch for anything except getting drops for games (160p and muted lol) but every time I see titty streamers getting recommended despite never watching any

Everything on the internet is easily accessible by kids if the parents aren't doing any supervision.

This is the double standard I hate so much about violence / porn / swearing.

Kids are watching ultra violent game streams? No one gives a shit.

The second a bad word has been said on a stream or a bit of nudity is shown, people are losing their god damn minds.

Kids probably shouldn't be watching ultra violent games, but that doesn't mean porn being accessible for minors is not a far more dangerous problem. There is no double standard, because these are two different things. Porn is neurologically addictive. This is an established medical fact. Exposing a minor to more and more sexualized subjects is what groomers do. Interacting with strangers sexually over the internet is not something that should be normalized for children.
